When no one could do anything, Mo Di stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a way to try."
King Xiang was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Please tell me quickly."
All the soldiers also looked at Mo Di. Mo Di defeated the Qin Terracotta Army by himself, which made everyone trust him in their hearts.
Mo Di said: "Everyone has seen how powerful the spirit beast is. In fact, the spirit beast has a weakness. Who knows?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Mo Di said: "Spiritual beasts are most afraid of one thing, and that is fire!"
"Fire?" Everyone understood at once and thought: Yes, these beasts do have an innate fear of fire. No matter what level of spiritual cultivation they have reached, this fear has been deeply rooted in their hearts.
"Yes, it's fire. So, we can use fire attack."
Cao Kun said: "Master Mo, tell me what to do specifically."
Mo Di said: "My method requires some people to take some risks. We first need to send some soldiers into the city to attract the spiritual beasts to the city, and then use fire attacks to trap them under the city and eliminate them."
After hearing this, King Xiang felt that this method was very feasible, so he said: "Master Mo, this method is very good. Cao Kun, you should prepare immediately according to Master Mo's instructions."
Cao Kun replied: "Yes, I will do it right away." He turned around and went to make arrangements. He first sent some troops to collect oil, saltpeter, sulfur and other fire starters, and told him to use more, the better. Then he selected those from the Lingzong and above from the army.
The strong ones form a death squad and are responsible for attracting spiritual beasts.
Zhao Man'er pulled Mo Di aside and said, "Master Mo, how did you come up with this method? It's really great."
Mo Di rubbed his nose with his finger and said, "There is a better way, but I can't say it."
"Is there a better way?" Zhao Maner's eyes widened. "Then why not use this method?"
Mo Di whispered: "This method is too much, I'm afraid..." Halfway through his words, he looked at Princess Yangzi.
Yang Zi also heard the two talking, walked over and asked, "What are you two talking about? Does it have something to do with me?"
Before Mo Di could say anything, Zhao Maner explained what had just happened. Yang Zi asked Mo Di: "If you don't use this method, what other methods do you have?"
Mo Di didn't want to say anything, but when Princess Yangzi asked, he had no choice but to answer. He lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear.
After Zhao Man'er heard this, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her hands to stop herself from shouting.
Princess Yangzi was also shocked, but she still controlled her excitement, looked at Mo Di and said, "Thank you."
In less than half a day, everything was ready. The city walls were piled with flint and sulfur, as well as pots of butter and jars of wine. A suicide squad of 500 people was also prepared. Cao Kun offered each a bowl of wine for them.
The strong march. The five hundred strong men drank it all in one gulp, threw the bowl out of the city, and sounded
There was a sound of shattering. Then they descended the city wall along the rope, rushed into the city, and disappeared into the layers of palaces. The people on the city wall only heard the shouting of these people.
, made the noise very loud, and seemed to be actively attracting the attention of the spiritual beasts.
Sure enough, not long after, another low roar came from the city, followed by a familiar rustling sound. Although the sound was not loud, it sounded particularly terrifying at this time.
The soldiers on the city wall craned their necks to watch, and saw those strong men rushing back one by one, closely followed by densely packed spiritual beasts.
These strong men almost used up all their spiritual energy, wishing they could fly directly to the city wall with wings on their backs. Some strong men with lower spiritual levels moved a little slower, and were caught up by the spiritual beasts behind them and bit them.
, was thrown into the group of spiritual beasts behind, and disappeared in an instant. In the blink of an eye, thirty or forty strong men died.
Most of the strong men finally rushed to the bottom of the city and climbed up quickly along the rope. The soldiers on the city also worked together to pull the rope upward, and the speed became much faster. However, some strong men were still injured, and some were injured.
Before I could climb up, I was forced by the spirit beast.
They were torn to pieces at the corner of the wall. Some of them had already climbed halfway, but were still dragged down by the spiritual beasts chasing up along the rope. They were divided and eaten in an instant, and no bones were left. The death squad of 500 people finally succeeded.
Less than 300 people came back, and almost half of them were lost.
"Light the fire and shoot the arrows!" Cao Kun saw that most of the spiritual beasts had gathered under the city and gave the order.
The soldiers couldn't wait any longer. They listened to the order and dipped the cloth wrapped around the arrowhead into the oil pan. After taking it out, another soldier immediately lit it with a torch. The arrow was on the string and did not shoot directly at the spirit beast.
Instead, they shot towards the rear of the spirit beast. In an instant, tongues of fire rushed behind the spirit beast, igniting raging fire and forming a wall of fire, cutting off the spirit beast's retreat.
Some spirit beasts with slightly higher spirituality and higher spiritual levels took advantage of the fact that the fire was still small and had the courage to jump out of the fire ring and escape. More spirit beasts were too frightened to come forward and kept retreating, with eyes filled with tears.
It's fear.
The soldiers kept shooting arrows all the time, making the encirclement smaller and smaller, and slowly forced the spiritual beasts to the foot of the city wall.
"Pour the oil!" Cao Kun ordered, and the soldiers poured pots of oil down the city, pouring it on the spirit beasts and leaving oil everywhere on the ground. At the same time, they also threw down flint, sulfur and other things.
"Light the fire!" As Cao Kun gave another order, the soldiers fired rockets towards the city.
As soon as the rocket hit the oil, a flame burst out with a "boom". In the blink of an eye, the city wall turned into a sea of fire, the flames soared into the sky, and every spiritual beast was instantly submerged in the sea of fire.
This is simply like purgatory on earth, with flames reaching into the sky and the smell of burnt beard permeating the air, which is nauseating. Every spirit beast is covered in fire and is jumping up and down as it is burned, wailing continuously. There are also explosions from time to time in the fire, and the spirit beasts are about to die.
The beasts exploded to pieces, which was naturally due to the work of flint and brimstone. The spirit beasts looked at the Chu soldiers on the wall with resentment and pain, making the soldiers tremble with fear. They were so busy that they shot arrows downwards and poured oil.
.....
The fire burned for more than an hour before it gradually extinguished. After the fireworks dissipated, looking around, the city was miserable. The charred corpses of spiritual beasts were piled up layer after layer, and each spirit beast remained on the verge of death.
Their postures were grimacing, their mouths were hollow, and their bloody eye holes could still see unwillingness...
The people in the city stared motionless at the scene below. They were obviously shocked by the tragic scene and couldn't help but feel terrified.
"We won, we won!" Some soldier shouted, and the voice spread throughout the city wall. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers woke up from the shock and shouted happily: "Victory! Victory! Victory..."
...." This shout shook the heavens and the earth, and was particularly inspiring.
King Xiang was overjoyed and said to Mo Di: "Master Mo, your method is indeed wonderful. I thank you on behalf of the soldiers!" As he said this, he gave Mo Di a fist, which was indeed true.
Mo Di hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "This is all the credit of the king and the soldiers. Without the decision of the king and the efforts of the soldiers, this result would not have been achieved."
King Xiang laughed loudly and said: "Young Master Mo is so humble. This battle is definitely Mr. Mo's first achievement, don't you think so?"
"Yes!" The soldiers shouted loudly, and they were all convinced. The young man Mo Di's status in their hearts was getting higher and higher.
King Xiang said to Cao Kun again: "Send the order and prepare to go to the city!"
Cao Kun took the order and left. Ropes were hung down the city again, and the soldiers were ready to go down to the city.
At this time, the familiar low roar came from the city again. Everyone heard it, and their hearts trembled. Every time this sound sounded, a large number of spiritual beasts would appear. Could it be that there are still spiritual beasts? They are
Not for revenge?
In order to ensure absolute safety, Cao Kun ordered to postpone the descent to the city and took back all the ropes hanging down the city.
Everyone looked into the city, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Not long after, I heard a faint "sizzling" sound, and a burst of unpleasant fishy wind rushed over me. Then I saw a dense number of snakes appearing on the ground.
Seeing these snakes, people's eyes widened in shock, because these snakes are not ordinary snakes, but venomous snakes, huge venomous snakes. Each snake is two to three feet long, as thick as an arm's length, with a head and feet as big as
The wine jar is as big as an egg, and its eyes are the size of eggs, glowing red. They hold their heads high, open their mouths, revealing their long fangs, and the words they spit out are four or five feet long, making a terrifying "squeak" sound.
sound.
These giant snakes crawled to a place thirty or forty feet away from the city wall and stopped, which was just outside the range of arrow attacks. The densely packed snakes raised their heads, and their fiery red eyes stared coldly at the soldiers on the city.
It looks extremely terrifying. With these giant snakes guarding it, it will be extremely difficult for the Chu soldiers to enter the city.
Mo Di clearly felt the terrifying aura of some snakes, and felt that these snakes were definitely not here to defend, but to attack! He secretly pulled Zhao Maner and Princess Yangzi to the largest crenel, just in case.
Sure enough, these poisonous snakes stared at it for about a quarter of an hour. Suddenly, the front half of one of the snakes stood up, two or three feet high. It quickly moved its long tail in and out of its mouth, and made a harsh "
"Squeak" sound. As if they heard the command, other snakes stood up like this snake and kept "squeaking". Suddenly, the sound stopped together, they opened their big mouths and sprayed out
There were streams of water and they rushed towards the city.
Mo Di hurriedly shouted: "Hide quickly!" As he said that, he pulled Zhao Man'er and Princess Yangzi and hid tightly under the crenellations. All this happened so fast that the soldiers on the city didn't even react, and the water pillars were already there.
They rushed to the top of the city and many soldiers were doused with water.
In an instant, the faces of these soldiers turned dark, and they fell heavily without even making a sound. Their lives were long gone before they fell to the ground. There was a chaos on top of the city, and the soldiers were busy looking for places to hide, but
The top of the city is such a wide area with nothing to cover it, so there is no way to hide or escape.
Lines of venom were sprayed onto the city wall one after another, and the soldiers fell one by one...
Fortunately, Mo Di was prepared, and the huge crenel blocked the venom, so Zhao Man'er and Princess Yangzi were safe and sound. Zhao Man'er hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag, poured out three pills, and gave one to each of Mo Di and Yang Zi.
, said: "This is an antidote. Take it immediately, just in case."
Mo Di and Yang Zi swallowed it immediately without any hesitation. Zhao Maner did not dare to delay and quickly took a pill. She looked at Heizi in her arms, took out another pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
The soldiers who were not poisoned hid under the crenels and could not raise their heads at all. Some of the soldiers who were hiding outside fell down instantly after being splashed with venom. A stream of venom continued to spray on the city wall, and the killing was far away.
It's far from over...
King Xiang and some powerful men above the Spiritual Saint level used their spiritual energy to form a barrier in front of them to keep out the poison, and for a while there were no casualties.
Xiang Dynasty asked Mo Di and shouted: "Master Mo, what should I do? Is there anything else you can do?"
Mo Di looked at Princess Yangzi and said, "It seems that this is the only way."
Yang Zi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "If there is really no other way, then use it, I don't blame you."
Mo Di nodded, took a deep look at Princess Yangzi, turned around and ran towards King Xiang. (To be continued)
